I really had every intention of publishing something worthwhile today, but as it turns out, nature had other plans for me.

I'm talking about the 102 fever, constant vomiting, no sleep at all last night kinds of plans.

I'm not at work today and I probably won't be there tomorrow either, and if anyone got the license number of the truck that ran over me and keeps backing up to finish the job, it'd be greatly appreciated.

If this is too intrusive just ignore it or insult me or something. It seems like you get sick quite often. Does that have anything to do with your surgery/resulting medications? I'm assuming most of them are normal viruses, of course. I don't really know anything about the kind of surgery you had and I'm just curious.

If you don't want to get into it publicly, I think you have my email/facebook.

PS Admit it, you just want to escape the constant politically punditry at work...at least we scrubs can all change the channel/turn the TV off.

Look at the bright side; right now, your macrophages are going to town as the helper t-cells are calling upon killer-t and memory b-cells to mount a defense of biblical proportions. Soon, anti-bodies will be swarming whatever it is you have, and any infected cells will have to answer to the killer-ts. Fortunately, when all is said and done, suppressor t-cells will be on the scene as everything is clearing up to stop the inertia created by the defense and in essence, prevent your immune system from attacking healthy you.

Eat some meat if you can, as the immune system is mad crazy protein. Gotta keep up the supply lines!

I'm a veteran network news producer and manager, a regular contributor to the Huffington Post and the Daily Banter, and a writer who's been featured in the New York Observer and the Village Voice. I'm also the author of a book called Dead Star Twilight and the founder of DXM Media, a firm specializing in television production as well as social media strategies and consulting. On top of all that nonsense, I'm the co-host of "The Bubble Genius Bob & Chez Show" podcast and radio show with Bob Cesca. To find out more about me and/or throw money at me, go here.

"As a blogger, Chez Pazienza is filled with outrage, passion and insight -- delivered with a distinctive point of view, a wicked sense of humor, and a two-fisted style of prose. In Dead Star Twilight, he turns all these on himself -- and produces a fierce, funny, disturbing, but ultimately uplifting memoir. This is the book A Million Little Pieces dreamed of being."

"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."

-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008

"Snarly, not snarky."

-- Andrew Breitbart

"A delusionally subjective, condescending blog, filled with hostile generalizations and a million exaggerations."

-- Paul Krassner, 60s counter-culture icon

"You're the Antichrist."

-- Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com

"It is truly sad that someone like Mr. Pazienza has a public forum to express his views. In a more civilized time he would, at best, be confined to an institutio­n for the criminally insane or, at the very least, marginaliz­ed from civilized society."
